Roy Hodgson has been reappointed as Crystal Palace manager until the end of the season. Hodgson had a four-year spell at Palace from 2017 to 2021, stepping down on his own terms, and is Patrick Vieira’s replacement, after the former Arsenal captain was sacked last week.
Ad Palace are yet to win a match in 2023 and are 12th in the Premier League, but sit just three points above the relegation zone.

Following the return of the international break, there will be 10 games left in the season for Palace and they play each of the eight teams below them.
